If that list did not indicate M. and Mme, could we still recognize the gender from the politician name? NamSor has published a simple API for Gender Studies which would give the following result: 26.31% (more that 99% accurate compared to the actual figure).

What about the Corporate World?

Playing with old data from a previous life in the corporate world (which cannot be disclosed), applied onomastics tell us that among ~4000 top company executives with a median base salary of 230,000 $ (USD), men landed a neat 890 million $ while women got 143 million $ in total. This huge gap is the result of less women having a top job and men earning ~20% more on average for the same job.
